The Coun;y Fair.-It is time our farmers
and gardeners our manufacturers and mechanics,
our stock men, and above and beyond these, the
ladies of the county, were completing their arrange
ments for the annual fair at Timonium, where, 1t
is to be hoped, all will be represented by the
choicest of their hocks and herds, the best results
ofther labor ard the choicest fruits of their lands
These annual gatherings are not only festive occa
sions, yearly holiday markings of people whose
calling and segregation gives them few opportuni-
ties for meeting together, but they are landmarks
which show what progress and improvements are
being made in the methods the apparatus and the
processes of their work and their modes of life
Such gatherings are indeed probably the only ones
Offering to farmers the chance to see what IS new
and changed in the conditions which touch their
everyday work. They present opportunities for
examination and contrast they stimulate to ex-
ertion for one man to do surpass what his neigh
Dor has done. They are the whetstones which
sharpen wits and observation. They are health
full vacations as well, taking each one who enjoys
the variety they offer out of the everyday rut'
showing what others are accomplishing. NO class
has fewer holidays than our farmers, and none
perhaps enjoys and profits more by such as come
to them.
But there's duty on our people beyond making
this a mere holiday. These meetings and displays
are induces of the condition of our industries; OF
improvements in progress or accomplished. Iney
represent the stand the county occupies to-day,
not only in agriculture, but in manufactures anu
the mechanic arts, as compared with other COM
munities 1t is therefore incumbent upon all VINO
have pride in the elevation OF their profession In
maintaining the county in its true place among us
sisters that all who can-and this means every
body-should contribute to the success OF the fair
bv exhibitions of whatever they have which will
helm to bring about the result pointed out as de-
sirabIe and hoped for. Our resources, our varied
industries the great stretch of our territory with
its different soils and natural capacities, our album
dant mineral deposits, the diversified manufac-
lures. all ought to be illustrated at Timonium.-
We advertise our community and ourselves as we
join in giving fullness, variety, extent ana interest,"
to its exhibits.
From the women of the county especially is to
be expected q hearty movement to make the falr
q representation of their industry, skill and taste
in the thousands of articles of home production
which are always regarded with SO much ANNA

Death of an Estimable Old Lady.-Mrs
Ann Buchanan, widow of the late Samuel Buck
man, died at her residence, "Mount Pleasant" on
the Hien road, about q miles south OF Towson-
town, on Tuesday last, in the Slst year OF her
age. Mrs. buchanan passed her eightieth birth
day on Monday, August LIST, and on the 9th The
UNION contained notice of the fact and stated
that she enjoyed remarkably good health. Only
a few DAYS afterwards she was stricken with pa
ralysis and died as stated above. Deceased was a
daughter of Benjamin Bowen, and was born at
the old family homestead at the head OF Charles
street avenue, near Towsontown, and which still
remains in the Bowen family, who have owned
and occupied it for nearly two centuries. Mrs.
Buckman's funeral took place there at o'clock
on Thursday afternoon, her remains being In
TERED in the family burying- ground on the farm.
The services were conducted by Rev. A. Weller,
pastor of Taylor's Circuit, M. E. Church South,
who preached most appropriate and feeling
sermon. The pall-be bearers were DR.. &. M. Bosley,
James Curtin, John I. Anderson, Washington
Stevenson, Samuel E. Parks and Thomas II. Tay-
lor Mrs. Buchanan leaves four sons, Messrs.
Charles H., William, George r. and Samuel D.
Buchanan.
ticed," said locomotive engineer, cat railroad
crossing how people will rush across the tracks
lust ahead of the engine, and then stand on the
other side and watch the train 60 by. It's
mighty curious thing; everybody does 1t though,
men. women and children. Sometimes whole
family will tear madly across the track as though
their existence depended upon getting over ahead
of the train, and then all turn round and stare at
the train as it shoots past. Now, it's the easiest
thing to get your foot caught between the ties or
loose boards on o crossing, and the majority OF
people killed by the cars are run over while at
tempting to cross the track ahead OF the train.
I can't begin to understand why people with any
sense at all will continue to do this, but they do
His Girl Treated him Badly.-The Balti-
more Herald says: GA young man named James
II. Yingling came running to Officer Tinsley at
Emory Grove camp meeting late Sunday evening,
wiping the tears from his eyes, and asked the
policeman to arrest young girl from Woodberry
named George A Brown, who, he said, had taken
the breastpin from his neckte and given it to an
other young man. Yingling said he had brought
Miss George to camp and had paid all expenses,
but she had treated him badly and deserted him
for another, and he wanted her arrested. Officer
Tinsley consoled the young man and informed
him that he could do nothing in the case without
warrant"
Premiums for Juveniles.--The offers to
boys and girls at the coming county fair ought
not to be overlooked. These include prizes fol
vegetables and flowers grown by themselves, as
advertised early last spring in The UNION would
be given liberal awards for butter, $40 being Of
fered for the best and $12 for the second numer-
Gus others for bread cakes, ellies, &C.. and needle
work and embroidery. In addition to these are
the prizes for the public school scholars for PEN
manship, free. hand and map drawing. The horse
manship awards are also expanded this year to
include girls under fourteen years, who are to be
given two prizes for skill and grace in riding.
The "Boss" Pair Of Shoes.-The Baltimore
Ereninq Ne,os says: "James M. Shipley, shoe
maker at Pikesville, has just made pair of shoes
of huge dimensions for colored man employed
by Aaron Weber, near McDonogh Institute. The
measurement was as follows Length, ID inches
ball, 1O1 inches instep, III; heel, 154, and ankle
IO4 inches. Length of the sole was IA inches
width 81 inches; measurement around the hee
1O1 inches. The shoes required two-and-a-hali
pounds Of upper leather, an ounce OF pegs, 9
pound of nails, and weighed five pounds siz
ounces. IF the wearer were politician wouldn,
he make an awful kicker?"
Another Man to Swing From 1.-THE
gallows which belongs to the Baltimore county
Jail, and upon which several men have already
been executed, was loaned to the Baltimore city
authorities and was taken in on Tuesday to b.
used in the execution of John Thomas Ross, thu
colored "burker," who is to be hanged on Friday
